We shopped a little, then stopped at a playground in the mall to let the kids play.  Aftewards, we passed a cookie shop that sell these wonderful, thick, chocolate brownies with the yummiest thick chocolate icing that you have ever seen!  <br \/>\nI have been doing so good through the holidays but all of the sudden, I HAD to have one of those brownies.  I have turned down everything you can imagine during the holidays&#8230;&#8230;pies,cakes, fudge (my favorite),cookies, EVERYTHING! For some reason, I just had to have a brownie!   So, I bought each of us a brownie, and guess what?  It was wonderful!  I ate it and I loved it!!   Later?  Well, my BG spiked to 185 and I felt awful. I wanted to sleep the rest of the afternoon and I did take a long nap.  It&#8217;s later in the evening now and my BG has dropped back down to normal.  Was it worth it?   I have to say YES it was. I know this isn&#8217;t good for me, and I don&#8217;t plan to do this again, and I&#8217;m sure not going to make a habit of it, but I think ever now and then it doesn&#8217;t hurt to have a little splurge.  What do you guy think?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I went to the mall with my two grandchildren, ages 3 and 17 months, and my daughter&#8230;.their mother.
